Debian is an Operating System that uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually installed on personal computers, it is being used on a growing number of web servers too. The reason is that it's really stable, so a server running it will not need to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being one of the most risk-free Operating Systems nowadays, since security patches are released within days after an issue is found. This is possible because thousands of skilled developers are part of the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, but they also provide 24/7 support via special e-mail lists and respond in 20 minutes to any kind of question. Thus, you will have an outstanding level of support directly from the developers who know their own platform in depth, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also among the Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. Since the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you're able to modify both the core as well as all of the packages in the way you see fit. Also, you will not need to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

You're able to select the Debian Operating System with each and every VPS server solution that we offer. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are some of the options that you will find on the order page, so you can pick the one that is more suitable for the software that you need to install and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be set up either devoid of Control Panel or with our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you have more freedom, because you will have full root access and you can make use of the advantages and the full functionality provided by Debian. In the second case, the root access will be restricted, but you will be able to control your web content via a web interface, not a console. If you do not have a lot of time to control your Debian-powered server, or in case you do not have much experience, you're able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your package and our admins will take care of the regular OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

Each and every dedicated server that we provide can be installed with Debian and we will test the software environment in detail before we hand over the machine so as to ensure that it'll perform properly. You are able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release during the registration process, so the applications that you install can get the maximum out of your server. We will also maintain your OS up-to-date when you add the additional Managed Services package to your plan. When you get your Debian-driven server without a website hosting Control Panel, you can do anything you like with your machine and you will have full root-level access, however you will need to be more skillful, since all the tasks will be performed through a Secure Shell console. If you get your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll have a web interface, through which you can manage domains, files, databases, etcetera, and this might be the best option when you aren't very experienced, and a certain application that you need to use requires Debian. You will have access to your Hepsia-equipped server through SSH too, yet the things which you will be able to do are restricted.
